Description
by Dianne E. Dusman (Introduction by), Frank Meredith (Editor), Matilda Tillie Pierce Alleman (Author)
There have been a great number of books written about the critical Battle of Gettysburg, but few of them convey the drama and emotion experienced firsthand by Tillie Pierce (a 15-year-old school girl) and Dan Skelly (an 18-year-old store clerk.) Their stories are among the best civilian observations of the war.Matilda "Tillie" Pierce Alleman self-published "At Gettysburg: What a Girl Saw and Heard of the Battle" (1888), and Daniel Skelly wrote "A Boy's Experiences During the Battles of Gettysburg" (1932), including his eyewitness account of President Abraham Lincoln's immortal Address.The full text of both teens' stories are reprinted here. The editor has included forty-one historic photographs and maps to enhance the reading experience.
